Another idea, if you live in a colder climate, you can use the used motor oil to heat your garage during the winter months. Waste Oil Heaters at Northern Tools

Any stepladders....I'm really in need of a 10' one. Aluminum or fiberglass.

The coupling is the most important part of the air hose. If you buy the $20 rubber air hose and cut off the coupling and replace them with some decent ones, you'll probably be in the $50 range. So save yourself the hassle and stay away from the cheaper HF ones. You could buy rubber air hose in...

Buy a quality air hose, instead of those cheap Chinese HF ones. I got a 50' x 3/8" rubber Goodyear air hose a few days ago for $50. I have no doubt they will last many years to come. I plan on putting it in a CordPro XL reel. Its replacing a cheapo PVC 50' air hose that I got at lowes for $15.

I'll give them a go. I like the idea of the quick shank system and that they are made in the US.

I've had two sets of cheap drill bits that break constantly. I just want a good quality set that will last me a lifetime.

There isn't any markings on it? Its obviously not a hex socket.

Has anyone used Montana Brand Drill bits? The bits are titanium coated with a quick shank, that you can change between a screw bit and a drill bit with out having to "unchuck" your drill. They also have other creative tools, like plug cutters, where when you countersink a bolt/screw you can make...

I got a Ridgid Wall-mounted vac that I got at HD on sale. http://ridgidparts.com/vacs/WD55000.phtml

Still barely above freezing. High today of 37F. 7-day high of 50F, still not warm enough where you can do some painting, or any type of outside work without having to turn the heat on. Would like it to be in the low 60's at least!

I've been trying to find a US made drill for the last month! The closest I got was an older 12v Makita Ni-Cad drill that was labeled "Assembled in the US" at Ace Hardware. I thought that Snap-on had the last true US made drill, but I guess not! Not surprising seeing that every company is...

Thanks. Anyone know how well these work? How much will they raise the ambient temps on high? Anyone have any experience?

There is no insulation in the ceiling - unfinished. There is one window and one door, neither have very good insulation, plan on taking care of that this spring. The walls are drywalled with fiberglass insulation, not sure of the rating. The walls are about 10 ft, not including the ceiling...

I have a 24x22 2-car garage with an unfinished ceiling. I was thinking of getting one of Mr. Heater Propane Tank-Top Heaters. http://www.mrheater.com/productdetails.asp?catid=42 I was wondering if I could use it inside my garage with the garage door closed, or does it have to be vented. Anyone...

I always prefer buying American over Chinese or any foreign country. Even when they cost more, because I know I'm getting a superior and higher quality product.

Has anyone ever used Racor products? Bought 3 of the aluminum container shelves. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M3A2VW/?tag=atomicindus08-20 and 4 of the spray can holders http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AXXCVQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Got a pretty good deal on it. Bought a...

I used a Firefox extension called AdBlock to block it out.

Updated list.... This is the toolbox I bought. Its a Craftsman 6-Drawer Quiet Glide Roller Box in Midnight Blue. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00965667000P?mv=rr

Sears had a Bosch cordless drill on display. IIRC, it wasn't made in Switzerland, I would have remembered if it was. I think it was made in Japan, not 100% positive.

Thanks for the help everyone, really appreciate it! :) I think I'm leaning more towards the compact drills vs the heavier hammer drills. If anyone has anything to add, feel free. Could use all the knowledge and experience possible A lot of good info about Lithium Ion batteries...
